The verdict of the jury in the Ray

versation on the street last evening.
Opinions were not freely expressed,
but the general feeling was that of
surprise, although no one was in a
single instance overheard to express
the idea that they expected the
charge under which the woman was
tried to have been sustained.
Yesterday Chief Warren and Or

every time the prisoner struck out

drew a knife on the officer but was
quickly disarmed without injuring

The Booming Spokane.

During yesterday hundreds OF
people visited the various bridges
and fingered about the river for
hours. There was general feeling
that something of damaging ma
ture was about to result from the
high water, and while no one hoped
that injury would occur to private or
public property, yet the feeling pre-
vailed that If anything must happen
it would be just as well to be around
and witness the proceedings. Much
of the strain was intensified by the
reports of dams and bridges going
out between this point and the lake.
and it was expected that the floating
debris would knock out the piers of
some of the bridges and wreck the
structures. Everytime these rumOrs
were repeated up town they would
be followed by rush of spectators,
but the story became old at last and
later in the day did not have the
same electric effect. However,
without anything of a sensational
worth the visit yesterday ,and looked
ut uDJ tHSIC was
something fascinating about the
seething waters, fretting and chatting
and curling their wite cap waves ev-
main channels the mad
waters roared and dashed
against the piers, and passed over
the chasm a mass of angry foam;
throwing up vast clouds of spray.
No danger was apprehended from
the water itself, but it was expected
if the boom gave way the logs COM
ing down and striking the piers
would knock them out. However
Mr.. Cannon was on the ground in
person and had force of men
strengthening the boom and up to
writing no damage has been sus-
tanned, and it is hoped the worst has
passed. Mayor Taylor was on
hand with Street superintendent
Shelton, prepared to do all i'm their
power to save property should an
emergency arise. AT one time in
the afternoon when report was re-
ceived that POSTS dam at Little Falls
had gone out wagon travel was sus-
pended over Post street bridge from
fear that sudden raise would carry
out the bridge, but travel was
resumed later. The first news
received was that the Post
dam had gone out at 10 O'clock in
the morning, after which the time
bobbed about AZ all hours i'm the after
noon. Nothing definite has been
ascertained up TO s o'clock p. M, the
rumor being current that one wing
of the dam has disappeared. 1t was
also stated that Cowley's bridge had
been washed out, but this report has
not been confirmed. One pier of the
railroad bridge at Trent has fallen
prey to the waters, but trains are
pushed over one car at a time, and
Supt. Weymouth is at that point
experimenting operations. Up to 6
O'Clock last evening the river was
about at the same stage as Thursday
afternoon, and the prospects are that
1t Will commence receding to-day.
AS the bridges have sustained the
strain so far without perceptible
damage the prospects are good for
their remaining intact through the
flood. There Is nothing alarming in
the reported condition of the waters
at the lake, and 1t is safe to say that
the highest point has been reached.

Worth Looking Into.

AS it is several months before the
next term of court it would seem
that the grand jury should be re-
called and required to investigate
the Teller shooting case. 1t might
save the county considerable ex-
pense, for if it can be proven that
Teller committed suicide, or that he
was killed in self defense, it would
obviate the necessity OF long wait
and probably long and expensive
trial,

GRATITUDE is one of the noblest
qualities of our nature. and he is lacking
in ono Of he highest essentials of true
manhood whose heart does not grateful
y respond in return for valuable services
rendered to home and country. We can
congratulate ourselves on the magnificent
examples of gratitude furnished bv our
Government in the granting Of pensions
TO those who are direct or indirect suf-
ferers i'm consequence Of service in the
field. But even in this there is golden
mean 20 be observed, lest the outpOuring
In one direction may cut off the flow iu
in other channels fully as worthy. The
Senate, on Monday. passed forty irdiyid~
ual pension bills, and the House with
little deliuerdtiou apprOved a measure
providing for dependent parents and
hOnoTably discharged soldiers and sailors
who received no injuries during their
term Of service. but are too old OF toe
feeble to work. The mover of the bill
estimates that it would cost $4,000. 600
a year but Judging from the way the
estimates Of previous bills Lave been
doubled by the expenses after passage, it
viii triple OF quadruple that amount. Is
there not danger Of OVERRIDING the pension
business Before the matter is carried
further it might be well to consider if
there are not other avenues for the dis
tribution of surplus funds, by which the
greatest good might be done to the
greatest number. If not, then let pen
sions be granted promiscuousIy to every
one who ever had anything to do with
any o. our wars. The United States
Treasury has paid out for pensions since
the close of the war, in round numbers
$500, 600, 900.

irish LandiOr ! Cruelty.

r ,rItaTnus evictious continue To be he
order ~ ;he day in Ireland. The scenes
are SAID 10 be The most distressing ever
Witnessed even in Kerry, where bitter
inteIDeciHe war has so ioDg been wagrd
be- ween the landlords and tenants. 1t
must be horre IN mind that these present
rsids on the overly stricken, mlsertOie
peasanTry are being made now, IN the
dead If winter. In the case of one man,
Pat ReardOn, his mother begged most
piteously that she might be allowed TO
Ien,ain under the roof over night 10
nurse her dying child. The agent, how
ever. rudely threw heT off, and ordered
the door to be nailed up. The poor
woman laId her sick child in the pig-Sty
and went for some straw TO make II
bed. When the bailiff was mailing the
door a young girl became 50 eXasperdted
by he outrage that had been peTpetrated
that she struck him over the head with
a shovel, knocking him almost insensi-
BILE She was at once arrested and sent
off under guard OF ten police aimed with
rifles, but a mob rescued her. Ihls IS
but sample of the frightful deeds b9ing
enacted in Ireland. The tempOriZiDg
and pacific policy which at one time the
Government seemed disposed to adopt,
and from which such satisfactory results
were ensuing, has been completely aban-
doned, and the old-time venom and the
unreasoning cruelty of landlordism is
again rampant. The London Tory pa
pers have been demanding the enforce
ment of the law in Ireland, and now 1t
is being done 1t is worse than the bar
barity of an invading army. The COM
placency with which English people of
intelligence and good breeding hear OF
these oItrages is astonishing. They will
turn fIOm the atrocities in Ireland to fit
out rescue expedition to Central Afr!-
ca, or to send missionaries to tribes of
unappreciative cRhnibal5, but they close
their ears to the piteous wall which
comes increasingly from the homeless
mothers and children of their own sister
nation, Ireland.
Mr.. Gladstone appears to be the only
man in all England whose head and
heart are big enough to comprehend the
needs of the Irish people, and to give
them that just measure OF sympathy so
strangely denied them by representative
/ EngiishInen. MI. Gladstone courageous
| " Insists that the Irish question must be
settled before all others, and The gradual
revival IF his popularity is based on this
one condition.
